The amount of projects is not what is causing "burn out" or "overwhelming feeling" from MCU
I see this around constently, that people are starting to feel burnt out because the MCU is putting out too much content and that they should have more space between projects...
It is not about space between projects. They dont have that stuff going out. TV shows used to put out weekly episodes throught out the year and people enjoy that and dont feel its too much.
The reason, is not the amount of projects, but the amount of parallel storylines.
If the project were connected enough and leading to common points more quickly, there will not be any "burn out feeling". But now MCU is kind of generating a lot of mental load without payoff to fans. Except Wandavision and Loki, shows opened a lot of storylines and are still waiting to be continued. If we take phase 4 movies and series, it generated so much stuff, out the top of my head from Blackwidows running on the loose everywhere, to a Celestial threatning to destroy earth, with the power broker in place, many organisations including the ten rings, spidermans identity forgotten, multiverse shenanigans, bunch of new hulks...
And each project, does not resolve what is already outthere and does not build on it. Each new project, just adds new unrelated stuff. People were used to having some links, some caracters, or some stories come back every 2 to 3 projects. Not have more than 10 projects all just adding new stuff.
It is not about the rythm of the project, but how they are designed. If the amount of tv shows and movies was the same, with the exact same schedule we got, but with more common stories, the feelings would have been much better.
